Current channel evolution in ideal Z pinch for general velocity profiles
Ian E. Ochs, Christine Stollberg, Eyal Kroupp +5
Recent diagnostic advances in gas-puff Z pinches at the Weizmann Institute for the first time allow the reconstruction of the current flow as a function of time and radius. These e…
Maximum-Entropy States for Magnetized Ion Transport
E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs, M. E. Mlodik +1
For a plasma with fixed total energy, number of particles, and momentum, the distribution function that maximizes entropy is a Boltzmann distribution. If, in addition, the rearrang…
Radial Current and Rotation Profile Tailoring in Highly Ionized Linear Plasma Devices
E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs, M. E. Mlodik +3
In a rotating magnetized plasma cylinder with shear, cross-field current can arise from inertial mechanisms and from the cross-field viscosity. Considering these mechanisms, it is…
